I ended up getting the SNES looking one, but here's some real content: I found a google doc for the retroid that has a bunch of games and the suggested emulator/settings to use in order to get the best performance. I'm still waiting the 15-90 years it will take for mine to sent from China, so I have no idea what the accuracy of this information is. Should be fun once we all get them and realize we've been fleeced by some scam.

There's some youtube videos showing game play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDJfi3CrmQ8 ^^That guy's channel has a few including showing how lovely Conker's Bad Fur Day plays. Supposedly this guy's videos are recorded from the retroid via a screen capture device (the retroid has an hdmi out so that seems plausible) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe7YOgx2vmblbEUUo-JgSnQ/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=1 And I bet you can find more on youtube.

I've been building my rom collection in anticipation of getting this thing and found this rom hack thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3877134 I've never touched a rom hack before and some of the ones mentioned through the thread (I'm going through chronologically) are really cool.

Rolo posted:Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know which Mother 3 version to get because I’ve never played it but that thread seems to answer that. drat 10,000/600 per day is 16.6 days, and that's if they're working 7 day weeks.

Here's a spreadsheet that performs terribly: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1irg60f9qsZOkhp0cwOU7Cy4rJQeyusEUzTNQzhoTYTU/edit In the "Performance" category anything with "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥" can play PS2, by a quick glance this means spending more than $300

Rolo posted:I ordered my Indigo Retroid 2 on 8/24 and didn’t get any kind of notifications until just this morning. I got a text from DHL saying they have a box from HK on the way. It’ll apparently be here Friday. Mine was shipped last Friday/Saturday and DHL said it would be delivered on Thursday, this morning I got a notification that it's out for delivery

Rolo posted:The retroid app really is an easy way to dive in, but I think I’m going to take my time customizing this thing with a bigger card. I hear they're fixing the save game thing in the OTA update that's coming next month. I popped out the card that came with it and immediately threw my own in there. I like having customization and don't want to play games then be locked into their ecosystem due to the encryption.

Rolo posted:Can you set Retroarch to boot on startup? From what I understand, you'll need a separate application to do this. This link was shared in the discord: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bh.android.TargetHomeLauncher&showAllReviews=true but I have no idea how good/bad it is.

Rolo posted:I’m getting no (noticeable) input lag now that I have Retroarch working again with the stock controller configuration. Only weird thing is Pokemon Sapphire. When I press a direction the character faces that direction and takes a split second to start walking towards it. Did the original game do that? Same, I haven't experienced any input lag across NES, SNES, ps1, genesis or n64. I'm also not good at video games, so anything small wouldn't be something I noticed

DHL tracking number sent on the 11th then out for delivery on the 14th (actually delivered the 15th, but I think that's my local DHL's doing)

Tim Whatley posted:Even I have to admit this Retroid Pocket 2 is not the easiest. I'm obv familiar with the Android side of things, but how do I load roms onto the RetroidOS side? It seems like the 30GB of roms they give you show up as just a bunch of encrypted files. Do I drop them in the games/download folder? I'm assuming the storage needs to live as external? I don't use the retroid os side, but this should help: https://wiki.retroidhandhelds.com/index.php?title=Getting_Started

Tim Whatley posted:What are you guys using for your RP2 setups if not Retroid OS? Retroarch seems decent, but should I use individual apps instead of cores? So far retroarch for everything except n64, I use n64oid because mupen sucked for everything regardless of the settings I used. EDIT: I also use PPPPPPPSSSSSSPPPPPP or whatever for PSP and drastic for NDS. I haven't tried any GBA or dreamcast, but I hear flycast is good for the latter and there are a few options for the former. Slimy Hog fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Sep 25, 2020 |

Rolo posted:Can I get away with Pokémon black/white on a single screen and no touch? I assume I can rig a trigger to flash the screens back and forth? Yeah, people recommend drastic and mapping that to a trigger. I'm not sure about that specific game, but you can find lists online of ds games that are okay to play with one screen.

The Science Goy posted:Honestly, a new Chromecast works really well. I think you can only get them from Google (doesn't seem to be on USA Amazon) but shipping was almost Amazon-fast for me. It does require a usb-c hub for any external storage (which is required as it only has 8GB onboard) and a ~30W PD usb-c power supply for some reason, so that brings the cost up quite a bit vs a Chromecast alone. Mine runs well with an Aukey 65W dual output supply. Oh drat, I gotta try this
